| Is 2 channel dead? You're at the wrong forum. This is Audiogon, what you want is 7speakergon, the sister site. (See link).http://osdn.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=408175/ut=41387cde4f89f847 | |
| Why no remote? Stenho, I've owned most of the preamps that are considered "ultimate" and borrowed a good many others. I could list and describe them in a email if you wish. I am so completely sold on both the Aesthetix Io and Callisto that I have stopped looking... | |
| Any photography experts out there? Use a single light such as daylight (or tungsten and proper camera settings), and use white cardboard to fill shadows and provide the reflections for your equipment. Nature provides only one light and often that is all that is required in product ... | |
| Why no remote? Aesthetix showed the new remote for the Callisto at CES in January. It may be ordered as an option for new preamps or retrofitted to previous production units. The remote consists of dual stepper motors and dual ribbed rubber drive belts, turning ... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? Pbb, I like it (re:)Why no one tests systems as a whole still baffles me, since no one yet has been able to listen to a power amplifier without a source on one end and speakers on the other. | |
| How many weeks of income did your sys. cost? Mine only cost a few moments of Bill Gates income. | |
| Pipe music to kitchen Vandersteen's on wall speaker, the VSM-1 requires little space and although designed for HT use, would be great for your purpose. I have a Vandersteen dialogue channel between a pair of Soundlab Ultimate Ones and continue to be amazed at it's abil... | |

| PS Audio Ultimate Outlet question.... Not unless your present outlet is defective and installing a PS Audio repairs the problem. | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? The Rockport was good when I heard them, but not as magic as the Kharma. Admit that I did not hear Andy's speakers with solid state. I thought the Tenor was supposed to be one of the best of the new tube amps. Not so with Rockport? | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Your comments are encouraging. The Kharma I was so fond of at this year's CES was the Midi. The Exquisite was stunning at last year's show and powered by Lamm (probably confusing this years line up in my mind). Both years they were my favorite sou... | |

| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Kharma was my first choice at CES, Avalon Diamond was a close second. I must remember the Tenor amps driving Rockport and Kharma. The Avalon Diamond must have been in the Ayre room. This is the best effort to date from Avalon. I ask if the diamond... | |
| What parts of a TT create soundstage and PRAT ? My sincere apologies to Mikhail (Inna). My comment was meant to be a joke. Sorry if this was in poor taste, no disrespect intended. | |
